This collection of essays is the fruit of a conference on the theme Hofmedizin in Europa bis zur Aufklrung held at the Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenbttel in September 1986. This conference, in which over twenty scholars participated, endeavoured to do for court medicine what an earlier Wolfenbttel colloquium had done for the town and state physician. In the impressive setting of the Bibelsaal, discussion was appropriately learned and polite. Four of the papers given there are not reprinted here. Professor Dietrich von Engelhardts survey of court medicine and literature forms part of his forthcoming book on the interrelationships between medicine and literature, while Dr Roy Porters study of the Chevalier Taylor will appear in his book on quackery. Dr Gl Russells survey of the doctors at the Ottoman Court and Dr David Richardss investigations into Queen Victorias dentists are scheduled for publication elsewhere. Illness prevented Professor Lopez-Piero from attending and giving his paper on the Spanish court, the influence of whose doctors extended beyond the sea to the Americas. Their absence is to some extent balanced by the essays of Professor Bruce Moran, who has expanded his closing remarks on the prince-practitioner, and of Professor J. T. Alexander, whose survey of medicine at the court of Catherine the Great has been especially written for this volume.
